Winners of the award for ‘Best Live Communications Event’ at CiB Scotland Awards 2009

The Macaulay Land Use Research Institute is running a series of events delving into the science behind fictional crime with 'Murder, Mystery & Microscopes'.

Crime fiction comes face to face with science fact as the fictional forensics of crime writer Stuart MacBride are put under the microscope by a group of real-life CSIs.

Separating crime fiction from crime fact are:

Forensics expert Professor Dave Barclay from The Robert Gordon University

Dr Lorna Dawson, Head of Soil Forensic Science here at the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute

Dr James Grieve, Senior lecturer at the Department of Pathology at the University of Aberdeen, and a Police Forensic Pathologist.
